Alana’s journey as an artist began in the 1970s with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Colorado. Her early work gained attention with a one-woman show featuring the “Zappa Quilt,” a piece so captivating it was filmed by Playboy TV. While her career in education soon called her away—leading to years of running programs and teaching in universities—her passion for art never waned.

 

Throughout the years, Alana continued to evolve her craft, transitioning from traditional collage to digital collage, and more recently, video collage. In every medium, her “why” remains the same: to express life in ways only imagery can, weaving beauty, truth, and storytelling into layered, visual narratives that resonate deeply with viewers.
